Adventures of Barbarella

Retro film marathon - Rains of Ranchipur

Always, I love old movies. If not the plot, their mere soul, the temperament, the visuals. Like a well-written book, no matter what it says, it shapes you.

Sure, there isn't much logic to their love story in the 1955 remake, but my GOD isn't it beautiful!!! My jaw unhinged within the first 5 minutes. Wealthy indian locations get me every time, it's just hypnotic to me.

The white smoking jacket...the pink chiffon dress..the mannerisms

Wanna be: Pulp Fiction fashion

 This is one of my all-time strongest references. I love the movie (favourite movie ever?) but I also love Mia. I realise that her hairstyle is probably the most significant bit of the character, but I've selected the suit, the shirts, the black dresses. What I love about this fashion is that it is real... It's 100% gangster, no fuss, no "stylish", no "sexy", no purring, just black and white, pure fetish. It allows no criticism.

I'm trying to organise my websites better in a way that they're all linked to each other but don't repeat things.. Bear with me while I do this!

The Myth

Marilyn's measurements are quoted as being 37-23-36 on average. 5'5 1/2 tall

For comparison and fun, my measurements are 32-22-34, I'm 5'2 and I am practically an outcast for being so skinny.

I don't see how she has the reputation of being "voluptuous" or "big". Should she walk into a shop nowadays, she would have a hard time finding a small enough size 6 to fit her waist, since dress waist sizes start at 24 inches. I don't believe she had that waist anyway- looking at pictures, the hip-to-waist ratio is wrong. If her hips were 36, then her waist was probably 25, but still..that's a size 6/8. Which is the size that models wear at catwalks.

As for the much talked about DD chest? where did that come from...? That's stuffing in dresses, it's documented. Looking at the naked pictures, she must have been a B cup.

I think she looks great, great and small!
